Lifeline
enables you to record and look back at your life, your family's life, or the life of anything - your dog or a particular project - for that matter.

Views range from days to decades: you can zoom in and out and click on any event to see all the links and media associated with it. Significant events, such as birthdays or holidays, will automatically be tagged as Lifeline events, so your Lifeline will be continually developing in the background, and you can edit and enhance it when the fancy takes you.

Click on the links on the screenshot on the right or browse through the list below to read more about the features of 'Lifeline'.


 
 

FEATURES

Record and Share
You can either let Lifeline develop organically, as life unfolds, or you can invest time in building it, incorporating your memories and documenting your life. Either way, you will have a record to keep and to pass on if you choose. LIfeline material can be exported, via a slideshow, so you can share those special moments with the important people in your life.

Daily to decade views
You can zoom in and out of your life, focussing on the details of a particular day or the essence of an era.
View a year or a decade or a life at a glance, or revisit an event and play back the memories.

Automatic entries
Diary entries for important events, such as holidays, are entered automatically in the Lifeline, unless you dictate otherwise, and associated media is also automatically linked. You can identify any diary entry as a Lifeline event for an individual or for several people.

Links
When you click on an event, the 'All Links' view will show you any media you have associated with it, be it a story, a video clip or a scanned programme. You can build your Lifeline events up into rich collages.
 

The Lifeline function makes it easy to link media to an event. See Memories
Video clips and journal entries enrich the record of a holiday. See More Memories

Family History
If you have the inclination, you can research and record the history of your forebearers. Scan in photos and add dates and information to create an evocative album of past lives.

Individual and Collective Lifelines
You can view your own Lifeline, or take a broader perspective, and look at the Lifelilne that a family or group share together. Diary events need only be entered once to show up in both contexts.
